There are two other possibilities. Juice manufacturers aren't required by law to list ingredients that are below a certain threshold. POM juice adds natural flavors just as most orange juices (see below reply from a 2006 enquiry). Some...

I do. On average, I eat 3 bags of the frozen stuff which claim to contain 4-5 servings each. A couple days a week, I'll also eat a fresh bunch raw on top of all the frozen plates. I just LOVE it! Is there any reason why this could be bad for...

It's funny because broccoli is one of my least favorite vegetables, I find it to have an assertive-unpleasant taste and texture. I also prefer fresh vegetables to frozen. So for me eating a lot of frozen broccoli would be unpleasant.

whenever i drink coffee, i get a headache about a half hour after, i also get a really hot red face. i drink about 3 cups of coffee a day (terrible considering how it makes me feel) and tea tends to do the same, just not to the same degree. i...

Maybe its the quality of the coffee you're drinking? Try a better brand and see if it has the same effects, but since you say tea has the same effect, perhaps you truly have issues with caffeine.

I think the cause of the headache matters. I get nasty sinus headaches, cold would hurt more but warmth sometimes helps.
Some headaches are caused by vasoconstriction and caffeine will help to dilate the blood vessels. It may clear your thinking...

Dandelion is a major liver herb, it is plentiful everywhere and nutritious. Yes, it is bitter and a bit chewy. I usually make myself a couple of salads in April and another two in October to support my liver. Radicchio, artichoke and cardoon are...

Hello everyone!
I did paleo for about 3.5 weeks until I was on holiday and really struggled with cravings which led to far too many 'cheat' days. Upon returning I decided that I felt terrible while I was away and it was time to commit to a real...

You may be eating more fat than your body can deal with right now. Cut back on the added oils a bit and reintroduce them more gently. Too much fat too fast can cause nausea and diarrhea.
Headaches are often due to electrolyte depletion from...

Hello,
Just curious if anyone on here suffers from headaches and migraines? Before I cut out gluten I was probably around 300 grams of carbs a day. Now I believe I am about 100- 150 with fruit and sweet potato's. I have been getting headaches on a...

Is it possible to consume so much fermented foods as to cause a histamine reaction? I'm already sensitive to citrus fruit, vinegars, and wine (they all have the potential to cause a sinus headache--especially the citrus as I beleive I'm allergic...

It might be possible, especially if your ferments have acetic acid-creating bacteria or yeasts in them. Acetobacters are responsible for turning wine into vinegars, and they are carried everywhere by fruit flies (which, strangely enough, don't...

do you take digestive enzymes? that might help with the digestion of meat. also, i think it's important to include probiotic foods like yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut- whatever you like.

I would suggest waiting a few days- go dairy free again- and then try it again but this time with organic heavy cream and see the reaction you have then- there may be a difference in how you feel- Restaurants do not use full heavy cream- they use...

First of all, you should not be taking A with D3. They are antagonists, they cancel each other out. If you're eating proper Paleo (including offal), then you don't need A. You would only need D3 (given that you live a standard westernized life and...

Hello!
For the past five months I've been battling a number of baffling symptoms that an army of docs haven't been able to diagnose. Hoping I can get some wisdom from this crowd. I'm a 23-year-old male, Paleo since January 2011. Here's my story:...

Well...it sounds like you have an anxiety issue. Possibly an anxiety disorder (10 docs tell you you're fine....yet you suspect a brain tumor). The popping in the ears, dizziness, and even some of the (what appear to be) sinus headaches all sound...

So according to this article, http://www.paleoplan.com/2011/03-02/the-dreaded-detox/ there is such a thing as a detox period after starting full time on the paleo diet.
I think I might be having something like that right now but I'm not...

I have never experienced it for more than a week or so.
If your previous diet really sucked, most of your symptoms are mostly withdrawal (or so I've been made to believe).
Some of the things that help, would be MCT's (coconut oil and grassfed...

I think I was out of balance, but it was a lack of sodium not potassium. I started to eat a little iodized salt and within a day I felt much better and had more energy. I'm not sure that's the root cause; there's probably something wrong with my...

You may want to alter your IF to deal with this going on -- maybe longer days of fasts aren't for you (this is OK). Just break the fast early.
Are you also eating a LC or VLC paleo diet? I'd suggest that your brain isn't keto-adapted. Consider...
